Mitral calcification is common in patients with aortic stenosis (AS), particularly in older females with more severe AS. Factors like age, AS severity, and female gender promote mitral annular calcification (MAC).

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Cardiac Surgery
  • Valvular Heart Disease

Background:

  • Aortic stenosis (AS) is a common valvular heart disease.
  • Mitral calcification, including mitral annular calcification (MAC), can coexist with AS.
  • Understanding the factors and consequences of mitral calcification in AS is crucial for patient management.

Observation:

  • This study reviewed data from 675 patients undergoing surgery for AS.
  • Mitral calcification was identified in 25% of patients (MAC) and mitral anterior leaflet calcification in 31.8%.
  • MAC was more prevalent in older females and associated with more severe AS and thicker left ventricular walls.

Findings:

  • Promoting factors for MAC in AS include advanced age, female gender, and greater AS severity.

  • While first-degree AV block was more frequent with MAC, it did not increase pacemaker need.
  • Massive mitral anterior leaflet calcification could lead to mitral stenosis requiring intervention.

    • Implications:

    • Mitral calcification is a frequent finding in patients with aortic stenosis.
    • Identifying promoting factors for MAC aids in risk stratification and understanding disease progression.
    • Despite its presence, mitral calcification did not negatively impact 5- and 10-year survival rates in this cohort.
